Re: Purchase Online Rights

I can see it being justified on PS3-only because their online is free but 360 users pay for their online service and it would be shitty to pay a second time. If I need to pay to play MK9 online, I will be selling the game after I beat it. I refuse to pay for one games online capabilities. Which is why I'll never play FF11 even though I love FF games.

Re: Purchase Online Rights

This is probably just an Online Pass that comes with the game so people buy the game new and not used, It's pretty much what EA's been doing with all their online games. So don't worry about this.

But if that's the case, then why does it say something about a free online trial? If you get the game new or used, you should be able to play online as much as you want afterwards without even needing a trial. I really hope they don't treat the online like an MMO and charge people every month for it...

Well because if you buy it used or rent the game you have a trial to play online and if you like it you buy the online pass.

What EA does is if you buy the game used the code that comes inside the game to activate the online pass is obviously used so you can buy one via the xbox/psn marketplace. (for $10)

Others are doing this to prevent people from buying games used and it seems that NR is doing it too.

So don't worry you won't have to pay a cent as long as you buy the game new.

Re: Purchase Online Rights

So about halfway in it starts referring to the Kombat Pass again. And in the context I can only assume online ID is referring to a PSN account and the signed into Xbox LIVE is clearly for 360. So it seems both systems will need to purchase a kombat pass unless there is a way to get it free or something.

Online features will not be available until one has been downloaded and installed on your system.

Pass found! Xbox LIVE features will not be available until one has been downloaded and installed on your Console.

Edit: I found some kind of raw reference that the Kombat Pass system may be like that similar to the VIP system in Bad company 2 where a player purchasing a new version of the game becomes VIP and is given access to free DLC while non VIPs pay a relatively low price. This is BC2's system and I was just describing for those who don't know about it.

This is just my opinion on what I'm reading. Don't hold me to it. lol
